00:00Does it really hurt your body when you do the driving?

00:04Because I've heard people say,

00:06when you're sitting down, your body is shaking,

00:08but they don't realize how much your body is shaking.

00:11It's actually pretty intense.

00:13I get that because you have to have a lot of fitness

00:16within harsh environments.

00:18Meaning, one of the most tiring things is the G-Force.

00:21And then drivers experience around anywhere from up to 5Gs.

00:27And the best comparison there are jet fighters or planes.

00:33When you land or take off, you feel that impact.

00:38That's what you feel, but you feel it sideways.

00:41I remember at one point,

00:43I was lifting up to 40 plus pounds on my neck

00:49just so that I could take certain turns.

00:52Because I remember, I have a specific track in Korea.

00:56There was this turn that actually took 10 seconds.

00:59And I couldn't take it anymore because I was driving a Trans Am.

01:04I couldn't take it anymore that I would have to cross my arm

01:08between the window and my head

01:12just so that I won't snap my neck at the turn.

01:16And it's frustrating because because of that,

01:19I couldn't floor the gas because my body couldn't take it.

01:24I think that's one of the most unique aspects of racing,

01:28the training on your neck.

01:31Another one I would say is the stamina.

01:35Because you're wearing a 3-piece suit.

01:38Imagine you're wearing a sauna suit

01:41and all the way you're wearing gloves and a balaclava.

01:45Your helmet's around 10 pounds.

01:47I think they added some myth-busters

01:50that said you could lose up to 10 pounds or 10 kilos at a track.

01:56And then they did the test and it was plausible

01:59because the host actually lost a little more than that

02:03within, I think, two, two and a half hours or something.

02:07Wow, that's for losing weight.

02:11That's also possible.

02:12But that's assuming you can drive on a track.
